Does anyone know of any standard symbol for a noise source, for example of one wants to represent the Johnson-Nyquist noise, what is best to use?

Many noise sources are best thought of as current noise, or voltage noise, and for those, just use a 'two circle' or 'single circle' current generator or voltage generator respectively, with an appropriate resistor if they have a finite impedance. When I've used a noise diode, I've used a diode symbol.
Putting a circle round a component is often quite a good hint that it's a 'bit more' than just a diode, or a voltage source.
